The revived demand after 12:30 on the interbank foreign exchange market today provoked an increase in price tags on the cash foreign exchange market as well.
By the evening of Thursday in Kyiv, it was possible to purchase large batches of "white" dollars (i.e., dollars of the 2001-2006 sample) at 46.09 hryvnias. Compared to Wednesday evening, the selling price tag increased by 8 kopecks, bouncing up from the psychological level of 46 hryvnias per dollar.
Price tags also started to change in regional centers. In Dnipro, Lviv, and Odesa, by Thursday evening, cash dollars were sold at 46.10 hryvnias, and in Kharkiv – at 46.20 hryvnias. How have prices changed? In Kharkiv, the dollar rose by 9 kopecks today, in Lviv by 10 kopecks, in Odesa it fell by 2 kopecks, and in Dnipro its price remained unchanged.
In Ukrainian banks, the dollar in some places remained at the old price, and in others – began to rise in price. By Thursday evening, the cheapest dollar was sold at 45.70 hryvnias in Kreditvest Bank. The most expensive dollar, meanwhile, was sold at 46.15 hryvnias in Radabank and Europrombank. The minimum price tag remained unchanged, while the maximum decreased by 5 kopecks.
Euro prices continued to decline today against the background of a third day of falling on the international foreign exchange market FOREX, where the euro currency once again updated its annual minimum. By this evening, the minimum selling price of the euro started from 50.90 hryvnias in Tascombank, and the most expensive euro – at 51.75 hryvnias – was sold by Trust Capital Bank. The minimum price tag decreased by 10 kopecks, the maximum – by 15 kopecks.
The gap between the cost of non-cash and cash dollars decreased to 70 kopecks – it became 4 kopecks less than on Wednesday. As we can see, the convergence of the two rates continues, but it is going extremely hard and long, despite all the efforts of the National Bank.
